Chapter 205 Encirclement and reinforcements
Ao Bing sneered repeatedly. In fact, the principle of how cultivators and mortals break a city is the same.

If you cannot destroy the city with absolute force, you can only besiege it until the enemy runs out of ammunition and food, and then the city will naturally fall.

The food and grass of cultivators is spiritual energy, and spiritual energy comes from dragon veins. Ao Bing cut off the dragon veins of Su City in order to cut off the supply of Su City.

Without the dragon veins to replenish spiritual energy, the spiritual energy in Su City will only go out and not come in, and will become less and less.

Coupled with Ao Bing's continuous and high-intensity siege, in order to maintain the operation of the formation, Su City's consumption will surely increase day by day.

If this continues, Sucheng will not be able to hold out for long before it runs out of ammunition and food. At that time, it will not be easy to break into the city.

"Spreading dragon veins..."

"Although Long Bo's move is effective, it is too damaging to the harmony of nature. It is not necessary to do this. Moreover, the resources brought by the soldiers are limited. I am afraid that the Xuanniao formation will not be able to maintain for long."

Huang Feihu was stunned when he saw Ao Bing's actions, and hurriedly tried to persuade him.

Cutting off the dragon vein is definitely the most effective way to attack a city, but this move is too damaging to the natural order, and few people dare to do it.

The dragon vein is the essence of the earth and is blessed by heaven. Therefore, anyone who cuts the dragon vein will be loathed by heaven and earth. In the best case, their luck will plummet and they will suffer a disaster; in the worst case, they will be punished by heaven and be destroyed by heavenly thunder.

The bigger the dragon vein, the more serious the consequences will be if it is destroyed. The dragon vein of Sucheng can support an entire country and can be regarded as the top dragon vein in Kyushu.

No matter how noble Ao Bing's status is, he would not be able to withstand the destruction of such a dragon vein. He would inevitably be involved in a disaster and end up dying and being listed on the list.

Although Huang Feihu wanted to destroy the Yousu Kingdom, he didn't want Ao Bing to pay such a heavy price. There was really no need. There were so many ways to destroy the Yousu Kingdom, so why use such a self-destructive method?

"It's okay. The Yin-Yang formation can draw in the essence of the sun and the moon, which can completely make up for the consumption of the soldiers. It's no exaggeration to say that as long as the formation is not broken, the energy of the sun and the moon can keep the formation going."

"As for the matter of cutting off the dragon vein, you don't need to worry. I have my own plan for this matter and will not let the Heavenly Dao blame me."

Knowing what Huang Feihu was worried about, Ao Bing spoke up and said that he knew what was going on and told him not to worry.

"Even if Long Bo can solve these problems, Su City has a deep foundation. It will take time to break the city. If we delay for a few months, reinforcements will arrive. By then, we will be in danger from being attacked from both inside and outside."

Although he didn't know what Ao Bing's confidence came from, since he said so, Huang Feihu was no longer worried about him. Instead, he asked him about the most pressing issue at the moment.

"Marquis Huang, he has reinforcements from the Su Kingdom, so do we have no reinforcements?"

"Notify the nobles in the country and have them send out their own troops to attack the nine major cities and the hundred secondary cities of Yousu State. I want to see whether these Yousu nobles think their own fiefdoms are more important or Su City is more important."

Ao Bing was unmoved and asked Huang Feihu to contact the nobles of Dashang and send troops to attack the fiefdoms of the nobles of Su. To save Sucheng, one must give up the fiefdoms. How to choose is a question worth discussing.

After all, the power of the nobility does not come from the trust of the monarch, but from the support of the fiefdom. Without the fiefdom, can the nobility still be aristocrats?
In addition, even if there are nobles in the Su Kingdom who are really willing to die for the country and are willing to give up their fiefdoms to rescue Su City, it doesn't matter.

Without the Nine Great Cities and the Hundred Cities, Su City became a fox without its tail and fur. There was not much value left and it could be easily destroyed.

Therefore, whether the nobles came to rescue or not, it was of no use to Ao Bing. If they did not come to rescue, he would attack Sucheng fiercely and take its head. If they did come to rescue, he would attack Jiudayi and Baiciyi fiercely and cut off their limbs.

"Long Bo's plan is brilliant. If our Great Shang army approaches, the nobles of the Su Kingdom will have no troops to come to our aid in order to protect their fiefdoms. If they withdraw their troops to come to our aid, they will be unable to resist our attack and will have to abandon the city and flee."

Huang Feihu was also a veteran on the battlefield. He immediately understood what Ao Bing meant after hearing what he said, and couldn't help but praise it. At the same time, he also thought of the shortcomings, so he added:
"We also need reinforcements here in case we are repelled by the reinforcements from the Su Kingdom." Even if the nobles of the Su Kingdom were not very capable, they could still gather an army to provide support.

If they were repelled by the reinforcements, their plan of besieging Su City, putting pressure on the nobles and forcing them to abandon their fiefdoms and return for reinforcements would be scrapped.

"Huang Hou is right. We do need support. There is a saying that goes 'besiege a point and attack the reinforcements.' When the reinforcements arrive, we don't need them to help attack the city. We can just focus on attacking the reinforcements one by one."

"This will not only weaken the Soviet Union's strength, but also put pressure on them and force them to surrender."

Ao Bing nodded and proposed a strategy of besieging the city and attacking the reinforcements. If they couldn't capture the city, they would attack the reinforcements and try to consume the manpower of the Su Kingdom.

"Surround the area for reinforcements!"

"Long Bo's words are always so insightful."

Huang Feihu is now convinced. He originally thought that Ao Bing wanted to use the power of Jiejiao to attack the Su Kingdom, but now it seems that he was overthinking.

Ao Bing's wisdom was far beyond his imagination. There was no need for him to use the power of Jiejiao. Only a few strategies were needed to cut off all vitality of the Yousu Kingdom and put it on the verge of destruction.

Of course, the success of Ao Bing's plan was entirely due to the fact that the national strength of Da Shang was far greater than that of You Su. Otherwise, no matter how ingenious his plan was, it would be difficult to succeed.

As for the matter of attacking nine major cities and hundreds of cities of the State of Su at the same time, if it were not for the powerful national strength of the Shang Dynasty, other vassal states would not have the strength to do so and could not gather so many troops.

But even so, Ao Bing's wisdom cannot be denied. After all, if he were a different commander, such as Huang Feihu, he would not be able to come up with such a plan. He could only act recklessly, step by step, and attack one city after another. Not only was the efficiency low, but the losses were also huge.

"I have already informed Huang Hou of the specific steps. Huang Hou will be responsible for the rest. I need to set up another formation to solve the problem of the broken dragon vein."

Ao Bing glanced at Su City deep in the void and saw that the dragon vein below it kept making painful dragon roars due to the loss of its origin. His face couldn't help but become solemn.

Although he had great luck, he could not withstand such a torment. If he could not properly handle this dragon vein today, he would be in big trouble when the Heavenly Dao backfired.

The natural dragon veins are destroyed and it is not just a saying. If things go wrong, the nine innate human dragons he left in the ancestral veins will have accidents.

"Dealing with the dragon vein is more important. Don't worry, Uncle Long. I will make sure that the next things are properly arranged."

Huang Feihu is not a person who does not know the importance of the matter. If the dragon vein is destroyed, even if they win the battle, they will not have a good ending.

Therefore, he fully supported Ao Bing's decision to prioritize the dragon vein. Besides, Ao Bing had already prepared everything for the future. He only needed to follow his instructions and he would be able to achieve great success.

If he can't do this well, then he is a waste.

"Don't be nervous. I just checked and found that there are many intermittent passages left in the void near Su City. One of them leads directly to Tongtian Lake and has been repaired for the most part."

"The Su Kingdom is so bold that it dares to spy on Tongtianze."

"But fortunately, they will never use this passage. You should find a way to connect it, and then have the king's personal guards stationed there come directly to support."

Thinking of what he had just seen in the void, Ao Bing gave the order.
